FRS Iberia/Maroc were three independent companies operating under a single brand, one based in Morocco (FRS Maroc) and the two others (FRS Iberia and Ferrysur) in Spain, founded in 2000 by their parent company Förde Reederei Seetouristik. The companies operated mainly in the Strait of Gibraltar with a fleet of eight ferries.
Routes FRS Iberia/Maroc operated services across the Strait of Gibraltar from Tarifa and Algeciras to Ceuta, Tangier and Tanger-Med. On 23 May 2018 it was announced that FRS Iberia will acquire the routes Melilla-Motril and Huelva-Las Palmas-S. C. Tenerife from Naviera Armas due to monopoly concerns on the acquisition of Trasmediterranea by Armas. The necessary equipment is included in the deal.La CNMC aprueba con compromisos la compra de Trasmediterránea por Naviera Armas
